Host & Stay are one of the fastest growing short-let management franchisees in the UK. From investing in their first property in 2004, they have formed and grown several property businesses covering residential property, commercial property, and holiday lettings. Now they are taking the holiday letting industry by storm by applying a millennial approach to an age-old industry, and they want more like-minded people to join them on their journey.
As the hospitality and property sectors continue to merge, there has been an increase in demand for the full management services within the property sector. There has never been a better time to run your own short stay property management franchise.
According to a report by letting agent professional body ARLA Propertymark last year, nearly 50,000 properties have been changed from long-term to short-term letting. Its research, which was carried out by Capital Economics, found that a further 10% of landlords were considering offering short-term lets in the future.
